Nah. Just an observation. A lot of them even have the OG strap & the body cap. I guess I've always viewed my cameras as useful objects without consideration to a potential buyer in the distant future. Same with cars.

I wouldn't worry about it, Amy. It shouldn't hurt the resale value by more than a couple hundred dollars.

I've noticed something about the sale listings in our Marketplace. A lot of these listings have the boxes, papers, original caps, straps, all the miscellaneous cords. It's mind boggling. I'm pretty sure I lost the hot shoe cover within the first week & I'm certain that the little viewfinder cover was probably thrown out with the box...

I keep the boxes and put the various accessories I don't need in them. That way I know where the DVDs and various cables are when time comes to sell. As for the viewfinder cover...I have one in the bag (came with my Ricoh XR7 film camera back in the early 1980s), but seldom use it. My thumb works just great.

That is when you part with your lightly used treasure for far less than it is really worth to you.

Why would I ever do that?

It's an obscure method for financing camera purchases, mostly used by people who have run out of spare organs.

I'll just pimp out my nursing license.

The AF-200FGs that I ordered from eBay came in. So, I've been playing with them. Made myself a redneck diffuser. Out of bubble wrap & a hair pony. My selected victims are now stumbling around, sufficiently blinded for the next fifteen minutes at least.

Should've mentioned that you needed some, I have one that I would pay postage on to send you.

Oh, they weren't a need. I have a couple big 360 flashes that I never use. Mostly because I don't really know how (yet). These were really cheap NIB & they're really only just a bigger, more powerful onboard flash since you can't turn them or angle them. Bubble wrap is very useful y'all!

Yep, bubble wrap, that white foamy sheet they wrap electronics in is nice, and anything made out of HDPE (milk jugs, rubbing alcohol bottles). All great for seeing large spots before your eyes instead of small ones!
